e-Portfolios for Learning

Thinking about introducing e-Portfolios in your class next year?
Wanting to expand your e-Portfolio use?

Check out Dr Helen Barrett's blog site for articles and ideas about e-Portfolios. http://electronicportfolios.org/blog/2006/06/new-eportfolio-articles.html

I especially like Becta's article on e-assessment and e-portfolios.
They say "Within a few years, e-assessment and e-portfolios will be integral
parts of modern learning and teaching.They are vital elements
for personalising learning,with benefits for both learner and
practitioner. E-assessment provides the flexibility for learners to
strengthen their understanding of key concepts, and to formally
demonstrate that understanding at a time that is right for them.
E-portfolios allow learner and practitioner to track progress, carry
evidence of their work across transition points (for example, from
school to college), reflect on their learning and build a skills profile
across a lifetime".
